LincoIn-HamIin Combination.

whats in n name?" has been a
question sufficiently unanswered for
centuries to still remain subject
for discussion, and what is in two
names should have double interest.
If you don't, think of two names as
well as any in American history and
look at them. They are Lincoln
and HamIin. Nothing peculiar
about them as they stand, but set
them up differently and see what
they are. For instance:
HAM LIN
LIN COLIN
Read up and down and then
across. There's something in that,
isn't there?
ABRA-HAMLIN-COLN.
Can you find two other names OF
two other men whose official lives
and whose names combine as these
do?

show in New York City. At the late Ohio
Fair, where the breeds competed, the
Holsteins won on butter and milk pro-
duction, and the Jerseys were once beaten
at Minneapolis by the Holsteins, the lat
ter having won all the prizes offered.
These records show that while the Hols-
sein yields larger quantity of milk than
any other breed of dairy cows il is not
chance butter COW, relying on few indi-
vidual animals TO bolster the reputation
of the whole, and that herds of Holsteins
are well known by those interested that
consist entirely of COWS capable of max
ing excellent records in a public test.
The public tests of butter cows in which
the Holsteins and Jerseys should meet
and compete would be productive of
great benefit. as they could not fail to
bring both breeds TO a higher standard
of excellence. They would stimulate the
breeders to excel, and the cattle of the
whole country would thereby be improv-
ed. No one is disposed to deny that the
Jersey is entitled TO high rank as a
butter producing animal, but the hols-
TEN breeders will not submit to the DER
sey's claim as the only butter producing
COW. The Jersey must meet the Holstein
in public tests and demonstrate the claim
by the amount its product.

The car walked up the broad stone
steps, clad in the magnificent trappings
of a Russian uniform, with the steady
step of man among men used to com
mand. On his calm, handsome face there
was no sign of fear, no expectation of
trouble; there was not tremble of either
hand or limb, although the giant-like
Danish guardsman who stood near me
trembled from head TO foot with the
great fear that something might chance
to happen, which did not. The car

Looking through history, we find that
though in an other particulars the art Of
war has made wonderful strides, yet in
the actual distances accomplished in
marches on foot the ancients were fully

marching was accomplished by the an

Leaving the main body to hold and de-

ed secretly and quickly TO Livius, and
joining forces with him they hurled
themselves on Hasdrubal and defeated
him. Cloudius then al once marched

QDuring my stay in Antwerp l saw a
parade of 10000 Belgian troops. These
are troops which belong to the forts ex-
tending around this fortified town. The
men are small and very careless in their
dress. They march in very slouching
way. They do not appear rs we'll as our
country militia. They did not look like
soldiers. | do not believe that 10000 of
them would stand up against the charge
of one determined German regiment.
The Belgians pride themselves very mucn
upon the Notifications about Antwerp.
The city is entirely inclosed by these
fortificatiens. They are strong if de-
Tended by the right kind OF men; but
with the Belgian soldiers behind them
do not think thatit would be difficult for
any modern army of the great pow
ers to take Antwerp. But the importance
of Antwerp as military outpost to pro.
tect the neutrality of the Belgian country
has been greatly overrated. | have been
told by military men that Antwerp is 20
much out of the way that the Germans
march around it through Belgium into
France without finding the Notifications
the least degree in their way. The Bel
gian soldiers, outside of their fortified,
